File:Zork I screenshot video game Gargoyle interpreter on Ubuntu Linux.png

Summary
Screenshot of Zork I, Revision 88, Release 840726. Taken using the Gargoyle interpreter on Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper Drake).

I took this screenshot on May 3, 2007 on my own computer. It's a screenshot of software I didn't write, and contains no original work on my behalf (the three commands are obvious and trivial and would fail any copyright test). As such, I can have zero possible copyright claim on the image. However, just for the Wikilawyers: I, the person who took this screenshot, hereby release any and all copyright claims on this image. To the full extent possible, I release this image into the public domain.

The interpreter is Gargoyle, which is built on top of Frotz. Both packages are licensed under the GNU General Public License. As the software itself is under a free license, presumably screenshots of that software are as well. The game portrayed is Zork I, copyright originally held by Infocom and now by Activision.

Zork I is a very important game in video game history in general and the histories of interactive fiction and Infocom in specific. The opening lines (pictured) are relatively famous and frequented referenced in the context of video games.

The image also shows a reasonably representative modern interpreter.
